  1. Clicking always refocuses to the same window


    Whenever I click with either the mouse or trackpad, the same window always refocuses. For example, if I had chrome and word open, I would click on word, which was currently focused, but then word would defocus and chrome would focus, no matter what. The only way to change the focused window is to close out the currently focused window, in which case the focus becomes locked on the next window. If there are no remaining windows, the focus becomes locked on the desktop. The windows key, tab, and alt-tab still work fine. This problem sometimes appears when I start up my computer, though not consistently. To stop the "focus lock", I have found that opening up a program that requires admin privileges, sending me to the admin approval dialogue, will consistently set my computer back to normal. However, restarting the computer does not. I have noticed an increasing frequency in this issue over the past month, and I was wondering if anyone knows what it going on.

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Microsoft life-cam cinema 720p version, windows 10 keeps refocusing constantly

    There is no control software for this camera on windows 10 as far I can tell. The camera keeps refocusing. Anyone any ideas. I cant get the old software installed on windows 10 64bit.

    Thanks for any suggestions.
